Making Pickering Stronger - Free Management Training for Small Businesses! Recent studies have shown that small and medium sized businesses have a significant need for management training at several key points in their development as they evolve from a single person business to a successful larger enterprise. Despite the demonstrated need and benefits from management training most small and medium sized businesses find that affordability, inconvenient access, and time constraints create a significant barrier to participation. Recognizing the need for an investment in management training as a key to economic growth and global competitiveness, the Pickering Public Library has recently been awarded a provincial grant in order to expand our service to the business community by creating a management training program and a self-study collection free of barriers. With this grant, the Library has arranged to have faculty from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) deliver FREE management training courses for Pickering small businesses , conveniently located at the Pickering Central Library. This series of courses, titled "Making Pickering Stronger" will consist of six (6) once-a-month, day-long sessions including such topics as Finance, Project Management, and Leadership. This series of courses constitutes the essential skills that managers need to succeed and participants will be awarded a certificate upon completion. To view a complete list of the
